TRYING AGAIN - GENERAL CHAT

hi all,

some may remember me others wont. We have our wonderful son Tj who is now 15 months after 2 cycles of es/icsi.
He is an adorable wee boy and we are just so blessed to have him, he is so loveable and full of life.
Anyway we have decided to try again for a brother or sister for tj and i start dr tomorrow, we are doing egg sharing again. x

Hi Kat, I cycled with you & had my darling little boy Daniel around the same time as you.

So glad to hear you are trying again, exciting stuff eh? I think a few people are thinking about going again too. Not me I am afraid but just wanted to wish you the very best of luck this time around xx

Hi Kat, I am at the very early stages of considering going again so I thought I'd keep an eye on your journey if you don't mind. I'm stalking a few girls on trying again Good luck for your scan and your BFP at the end. x

I recognize a few names here dont know if you remember me.I have a beautiful 2 year old son,Sam.
We are going again too! Start d/ring on the 1st Sept. No egg share for me this time I'm too old hahaha,dont mind though,all them eggies just for me This is a final attempt for Sam to have a sibling,I'm ready to move on with life now.....just one more attempt

Im ok about trying again,at that point where I want to put tx behind us and enjoy life.
So hopefully a stress free cycle I say that now haha
chalmers I start on thursday,so not to far behind you.
gemma your scan goes smoothly.
We are opting for set and blastocyst this time.

we are doing it that way because I dont want twins
I think with Sam so active,having two extra babies will take alot of my time from him plus..........
if it fails I'll have an extra frozen for fet
As im not sharing this time all my eggies will be mine,going off the last 3 tx's (20,20,26 eggs)
should have enough for blast! My amh came back at 21.7.....I think thats ok?

Sam is starting school in April,they start here at age 3 and as soon as they are ready they go full time
think im more scared of that than tx hahaha

I know i am thinking along the same lines that twins would be really hard work along with tj too, so might agree to blasts, dont know yet depends how many.
boy you had a lot of eggs i only had 12 the first time then 13 the second time. Thats strange that sam starts school at 3, is that not a bit young lol?, i think i would be scared of that too.

I had my first follie scan today and i have 12 so far, some are 14. 12 and a few 10's sso hopefully they catch up by firday, all going well my egg collection will be next week some time.

Hey ladies
How fab that your both staring again I wish you both the very best, i'm not on fz very often but will follow you when i'm on
We have spoke a few times about using our frosties we have 4 blast left so hopefully enough for 2 goes if the 1st doesnt work and am on the same mind about twins i almost feel to guilty to try again at the moment after waiting so long for Lucas but he's only 21mths so i'm sure i'll feel diff in 6 mths lol Raven i too almost wanna go again just to put everything behind us and move on be it with a little bro or sis for Lucas or if we're lucky and its not ment to be we can at least carry on knowing we've tried? Sorry that all sounded a bit depressing lol
Kat sounds like you have some good follies there fingers all crossed for fri and EC next week
xxx

good to hear from you hun, i cant believe your wee boy is 21months laready, the time has flown by. I am thinking the same too this time and see what happens. Dh and i discussed it and said we would like to try twice then if it doesnt work then thats us.
when would you like to try agian/

Sammy its not depressing,thats exactly how I feel.Totally happy with Sam but need that final tx to get on with life. Im just going through the motions lol I say go for it....no regrets

chalmer great sizes and a good amount too.wont be long now for friday

Most schools take children on at 3, I think, part time.
Then start full time when they are five. But here they let the child decide when they are ready.If they can handle a full day that is.
I hope Sams not ready

went the scan went well today, most of the follies are 19-20 and a few 14's so we are all set for ec on monday, i take my ovitrelle tomorrow night, ( will need matchsticks for that one) lol.
I cant believe its all went in so fast, guess its cause i am always so busy with Tj so you dont have time to sit and think about it as much.
I am going down to stay near the clinic on sunday till thursday so probably wont be back on till after et.

Just a wee update i got 10 eggs from egg collection so 5 for me and 5 for the recipient. £ of mine fertilised so i had a day 4 transfer of one embryo on friday.
I will find out tomorrow if the other 2 were suitaBLE for freezing.
Its really difficult this time with tj, he wants lifted all the time and obviously i am trying to be careful, but what else can you do.
I test on the 21sep, i am so praying its a bfp xx

thanks hun, not got a lot planned well back at work on friday then we are awat to blackpool on the 19th, so i will be testing while we are away. fingers crossed i come home with good news eh.
thats good you are jabbing, keep me posted and good luck for the scan.

yes i always go on the floor and play with tj, but its like lifting him in the bath and things am i just being too paranoid?

No not paraniod,thats fine just bent at the knees
Most peolpe get pregnant and not realize it,so it wouldnt effect things like that.....but its amazing,when you know whats going on in your body how paraniod we get. Keep your feet up,enjoy your holiday and come back with a big big smile

Just lurking on this board as starting to get the itch to use our snow babies! I was a cycle buddy with you Kat, on my first attempt fingers crossed for you

We were fortunate enough to have our precious daughter, Saskia, on our second go with a medical FET, and she was born last November but now I want her to have a little brother or sister. I had a C-section and was told I must wait 12 months, but I am thinking that by time I start the whole thing, waiting for AF (I dont ovulate , could be upto 3 months!), down regging etc it would be November/December before I would be testing, if you see what I mean? Even if they give me the horrible drugs to bring on AF it would be still added time.

I feel guilty that I want to start so soon, but Im 38 next month and if it doesn't work we'd need to take stock, and see if we could save for another full cycle, or whether we just count our blessings.

Dh is on board, just a case of being sensible. I had pre-eclampsia, which turned into a full blown emergency crash, being pumped full of stuff, emergency c-section etc followed by Pullmonary Embolism, & Pnemonia which has left me with a weak heart (faulty valve) In hospital for weeks after she was born!

Oh yes I want to do it all again!

Seriously though, I called my GP and made an appointment for Friday so I can talk through whether we can go ahead. I know I'll need to take extra injections to keep my blood thin, but apart from that I can't see why not.

Hi all, hope everyone is well. Alexandra I don't remember cycling with you, sorry, were you in March Miracles? How old is your lo? Andie, hi, we cycled together I'm sure, our lo's are almost the same age. I hope Kat (or do you prefer Chalmers?) and Ravan are both well and coping with the mad old hormones again. DH and I have finally decided we are going to go again after a few initial wobbles (from him) I have put a little update in my diary so feel free to drop in anyone. x

Chalmers hope your enjoying your break,I've got everything crossed,hope you have good news xx
Hopeful I never knew chalmers as Kat lol always just called her chalmers......but I like Kat hmmm
Andie good luck,hope you get the go ahead x
Alexandra it is crazy isnt it...wanting another so soon....maybe my sons birth was just to easy lol

Im now on day 2 of menopur and have a scan on monday base line shows 15 follies on left 20 on right

Unfortunately for us its a bfn, we are really gutted, i really thought it had worked, guess it wasnt meant to be.
The clinic told me to stop the pessaries and wait for af, i think thats when it will hit me the most as thats kind of final.
We may try again next year, depending on the money.

I dont understand myself but I am broody still. My baby is 12 weeks old and the size of a newborn as was very prem. MAybe it is that. I so wanted to carry her to term and get to take her home with us.
Anyway at my 6 week check up they asked if I wanted contraception. I laughed & told them that Mimi is an ICSI child.
Dr said natural miracles can happen especialy after childbirth.
How glorious that would be.

Anyway we are not going to use contraception & I shall keep my fingers crossed each month. We are not going to actively try with RJ/ charting etc until Jan but I will be 41 then.
I can not believe I am still broody. What is the matter with me. Maybe I miss pregnancy. Anyway unless it is a miracle naturaly then it wont be. No funds for any more rounds of tx.
I was fixed though & have a small window of opportunity. DH has still only got 2% morph as well. I do have some clomid here. MIght chat to my doc in the new year.

Hi Taxi, there have been a few threads on this subject. Lots of people seem to get broody not long after having their lo's.

I know I did immediately after getting home with DS and I can only think it must be hormonal. Anyway these bloody hormones must be playing havoc because I still have them nearly 11 months on! Best of luck on the ttc naturally, there have been a few miracle announcements on here of late so don't give up x

Yes. I'm broody too

Hiya,

Yes, I was broody almost as soon as Alex was born too. He was (is!) just so perfect, I wanted another one ASAP! I think DH thought I'd totally lost the plot! I did have a couple of months where I thought "no, I couldn't do this again" (Alex was a terrible sleeper until 1 year old so months 9 - 11 were awful as I was totally exhausted by that point!) but once he started sleeping well, I was back to being totally broody and desperate for another. I dunno what it is, but the drive to have babies is really strong... I can see it's the same for a lot of you too!

Fingers crossed for everyone. I'm at work today and then I have to go to a work "do" after work as well, so I'm going to really, really, really miss my boy today. I HATE leaving him for a whole day, even though I know he's fine at nursery and with his Daddy....

Thanks All. We will be trying from the new year & giving it our all for 12 months. DH has refused anymore TX & I am with him 100%.
So if no extras in a year we will move on, just as happy as we are now.
